15 Kylie Cosmetics Dupes That We Are Obsessed With
It seems like everyone is now rocking a matte nude lip, and Kylie Jenner is probably the reason why. It all started a few years ago when the reality star started posting Instagram selfies of herself with the perfect shade of lipstick. Only it wasn't lipstick, it was MAC lip liner that Kylie had been using instead of lipstick in order to draw her lips into a fuller shape while keeping her lips matte. Everyone immediately started purchasing lipstick and liner shades similar to what Kylie was wearing in her pictures. The reality star quickly realized that she would be very successful if she started her own makeup line, and that's exactly what she did.
Kylie might be responsible for making matte lips a huge trend, but Kylie Cosmetics isn't the only brand out there that makes awesome lipsticks. Actually, there are plenty of makeup companies that sell great lip products that can be dupes for some of Kylie's most popular shades. Here are 15 companies that have lipsticks and lip gloss that are super similar to Kylie's:
15 ColourPop Ultra Matte Lip in Chi - Dupe For Dolce K
ColourPop is a relatively new cosmetics company that started in 2014 and gained popularity for their liquid lipsticks. The company sells dozens of shades of their lip products, so it's not surprising that they have a perfect dupe for Kylie's Dolce K. Their Ultra Matte Lip in the color Chi is practically the exact same shade of nude. Not only is the color spot on, but the formula is very similar as well. The founders of ColourPop are also behind Kylie Cosmetics. Laura and John Nelson own Spatz Laboratories, which produces both beauty brands' lip products. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the Lip Kits, ColourPop is your best option. Their liquid lipsticks are only $6 and come in every color you could want. ColourPop also has different formulas, so if you're not sold on the matte look, you could try out their satin, glossy or metallic shades.
14 NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cream in London - Dupe For Candy K
Candy K is a beautiful warm, pinky nude and is flattering on so many people. If you are looking for a drugstore alternative that is more affordable, check out the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in the color London. Not only does this dupe save you a few dollars, but it is also more moisturizing. The product is described as a hybrid between a gloss and a lipstick, so it is not as drying as the typical liquid lipstick (which is pretty annoying). The lip creams retail for $6 and comes in dozens of shades. The color London is a pretty close match to Candy K, which is one of Kylie Cosmetics' most popular shades. You can find the NYX alternative at your local drugstore, online or at one of the brands' retail stores. We love NYX for creating high-quality makeup at a price that can't be beat.
13 Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Super Natural - Dupe For Literally
Although Kylie's most popular cosmetics are the matte liquid lipsticks and liners, she does have quite a few other lip products, including lip gloss. The Literally gloss is a perfect nude shade that every makeup fan could use in their collection. If you're looking for a drugstore dupe, try the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in the color Super Natural. The company describes the product as being a non-sticky, colorful gloss that moisturizes your lips with Vitamin E and avocado oil which sounds amazing. The shade Super Natural looks very similar to Kylie's Literally. The lipgloss usually retails for around $8, but Revlon products are frequently on sale at the drugstore or at Ulta, so you could pick up this product for even less. Revlon has been around long before Kylie Cosmetics, the company actually started way back in 1932! It's not surprising that the brand released a great nude gloss.
12 Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in Vamp - Dupe For Leo
Anastasia Beverly Hills is a higher end cosmetics company that makeup artists adore. Although they are most known for their amazing eyebrow products, they also have a great liquid lipstick formula. They actually carry a liquid lipstick in the shade Vamp, which is a spot on dupe for Kylie Cosmetics' Leo. The color is a stunning dark shade of burgundy with the right combination of purple and red (it is the perfect fall shade if you ask us). Anastasia Beverly Hills describes their liquid lipsticks as non-drying and long lasting. Their liquid lipstick retails for $20 and can be purchased on their website or at Sephora. There are 38 shades to choose from, but if you want a bold lip, Vamp is a great choice. The liquid lipstick has mostly positive reviews, so it might be worth the splurge. Formula is just as important as color, especially with a darker shade.
11 Hourglass Extreme Sheen High Shine Lipgloss in Imagine - Dupe For Poppin
When Kylie turned 19, she celebrated her big day with the launch of Kylie Cosmetics Birthday Collection. The $195 set included liquid lipstick, lip liner, gloss, eye liner, gel eye shadows, a makeup brush, and an adorable cosmetics bag with her signature logo on it. The collection had a metallic theme and included amazing shades of lip products, including the lip gloss Poppin. The metal-inspired gloss is actually infused with gold! Although you can't purchase the whole collection anymore (it is sold out), you can still purchase the lipstick on its own online. If you are looking for an alternative gold lip shade, check out Hourglass Extreme Sheen High Shine Lipgloss in the color Imagine. This lip gloss will set you back $28, but the company claims the product is “pure luxury for the lips”. This lip gloss is extremely glossy, and the shade Imagine will definitely turn heads.
10 Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Fifth Ave - Dupe For Lord
Kylie's birthday collection also featured a beautiful gold metallic liquid lipstick called Lord. Poppin is a similar shade to Lord, but is a high shine gloss instead of a matte metallic liquid lipstick, like Lord. If you love the gold metal lips, but would rather have a lipstick than a lip gloss, the Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in the color Fifth Ave is a product you have to check out. The lipstick is a great dupe for the stunning Lord color. The company says that the liquid lipstick will stay put for at least five hours (can you imagine that?) and won't rub off if you eat or drink. This product does not completely dry, which means it's a bit more moisturizing than standard matte liquid lipsticks. You also don't need to use lip liner, which is great because chances are you don't already own a metallic gold one that matches.
9 MAC Lipstick in Taupe - Dupe For Brown Sugar
MAC Cosmetics has been a go-to brand for most makeup lovers for years. The company has come out with so many iconic beauty products since they started in 1984, but they were late to join the liquid lipstick trend. They launched their Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolors, but their classic tubed lipsticks are still more popular. If you're looking for a dupe for Kylie Cosmetics' lipstick in the shade Brown Sugar, you should check out the MAC lipstick in the color Taupe. This shade looks good on all skin tones and is a classic brownish nude. MAC lipsticks are a great alternative if you're not really a fan of liquid lipstick. They offer full coverage and can be long lasting if worn with a lip liner. They aren't as drying as liquid lipsticks either. A classic MAC lipstick retails for $17 and can be purchased at their retail stores and in department stores.
8 Lime Crime Velvetines The Original Liquid Matte Lipstick in Teddy Bear- Dupe For Love Bite
You may not have heard of Lime Crime Cosmetics, but they have matte liquid lipsticks in a variety of fun colors. Their Matte Velvetines lipsticks come in many shades including light green, bold orange, and cement grey. They also carry a great dupe for Kylie Cosmetics' lipstick in Love Bite, which is a stunning brownish plum shade. The Matte Velvetine in Teddy Bear is an almost identical color. This lipstick formula was inspired by the texture of roses and is supposed to leave your lips feeling like velvet. The company claims this lipstick will last all day and requires minimal touch ups. Lime Crime is a vegan and cruelty-free beauty brand, so if you're an animal lover, there's one more reason to test out this dupe. You can order their lipsticks on their website, and the current sale price is $15. The original price of each Matte Velvetine is $20.
7 Sephora Cream Lip Stain in Always Red - Dupe For Mary Jo K
Sephora is considered a cosmetics temple by many makeup lovers so it is not surprising that you can find a great Kylie dupe there. Kylie Cosmetics' liquid lipstick in Mary Jo K is a classic bold red, and Sephora's own line of lip stain in the color Always Red is a very close match to the shade. Sephora's Cream Lip Stain is a product that claims to last all day and transforms from a creamy consistency into a lightweight stain. According to Sephora's website, the product is a best seller and delivers high coverage and is very pigmented. The lip stain has avocado oil in it, so it will not dry out your lips either. You can buy the lip stains in matte and satin finishes. Always Red has a matte finish, making it the perfect dupe for Mary Jo K. The lip stain retails for $14.
6 Too Faced Melted Matte Liquified Long Wear Matte Lipstick in Bend & Snap - Dupe For Spice
Kylie Cosmetics' liquid lipstick in the shade Spice is a beautiful mauve purple shade that is flattering on all skin tones. A great dupe for this shade is the Too Faced liquid lipstick in the color Bend & Snap - we love the Legally Blonde reference too! The color is described as a deep raspberry and is matte just like Spice. The Too Faced formula claims to glide on similarly to a gloss, but it dries matte and opaque. The product is described as being kiss proof as well. Like most liquid lipsticks, one application should last you a few hours. This lipstick retails for $21 and can be purchased on the Too Faced website or at Sephora. Fun fact, Too Faced co-founders Jerrod Blandino and Jeremy Johnson created the cosmetics company in the late 90s to bring a light-hearted, feminine approach to make up in a time when grunge ruled.
5 Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Berlin - Dupe for Kristen
Like Kylie Jenner, Kat Von D also used her reality show celebrity status to sell her own line of cosmetics. Kat had already impressed us with her tattoo artist skills, but she was ready to wow the world with her makeup. The Kat Von D Beauty line was created in 2008 for Sephora and had an extremely successful launch. One of the brand's most coveted products was the lipstick, and since then the line has expanded to include liquid lipstick. The shade Berlin is an amazing dupe for Kylie Cosmetics' Kirsten. The color is a really wearable classic rosy brown that goes with most makeup looks. The Kat Von D liquid lipstick retails for $20 and has ingredients including sunflower seeds that apparently keep the formula from being too drying on your lips. Berlin is a stunning shade, but you should also check out Lolita, the most buzzed about color in the liquid lipstick line.
4 Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer in Nude Eclipse - Dupe for So Cute
Rimmel London's lip lacquer in Nude Eclipse is a perfect dupe for Kylie Cosmetics' lip gloss in So Cute. Both shades are a pale beige that can compliment any nude lipstick shade. It also looks great on bare lips. Rimmel London's lip lacquer is highly pigmented and is almost a combination of a gloss and a liquid lipstick. If you are looking for an opaque lip product that feels smooth, this is the perfect formula for you. Prices vary on this product, but you may be able to find it at your local drugstore for around $6. Of course, you can also find it on Amazon for a few bucks more. Although Rimmel London did not become a popular drugstore cosmetics brand in the U.S. until recently, the company actually began way back in 1834! In fact, there are many languages in which the word 'Rimmel' means mascara.
3 Dose of Colors Liquid Lipstick in Chocolate Wasted - Dupe for True Brown K
Dose of Colors is a cruelty-free cosmetics company based in the United States, and they have a perfect dupe for Kylie Cosmetics' lipstick in True Brown K. Their liquid lipstick in the color Chocolate Wasted, is almost identical to True Brown K, and is the perfect shade of deep chocolate brown. You can purchase the lipstick on their website for $18, but there is a limit of 2 per customer that you can buy (not too bad). There are also a few retail stores that carry Dose of Colors cosmetics. The product is described as having a velvety matte finish. This lipstick is also vegan, gluten free, and paraben free. If you are looking for a brown lipstick that isn't too nude or too bold to wear everyday, Chocolate Wasted is the perfect shade. We are glad to see that the brown lipstick trend of the 90s is back in style.
2 Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid in Nude Thrill - Dupe for Koko K
Kylie Cosmetics' Koko K liquid lipstick is a beautiful pale pink shade. The color was named after Kylie's big sis Khloe, and you can often see her rocking this lipstick. If you are looking for a more affordable, drugstore version of this liquid lipstick, check out the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid in the color Nude Thrill. This shade is a really close match to Koko K, and retails for $8. You can also save some more by waiting for your drugstore to have a promotion or sale on Maybelline products. This formula has a mousse texture and is supposed to dry matte, but many people claim that it never completely dries. That can be a perk if you don't like the feeling of dry products on your lip. It also has a high color pay off. If standard nude shades are a little too dull for your taste, the pink undertones in this shade might just make this your new favorite lipstick.
1 CoverGirl Katy Kat Matte Lipstick in Perry Panther - Dupe for Dead of Knight
Black lipstick may not be for everyone, but some people can really pull it off. It's hard to find a true black shade, but Kylie Cosmetics' liquid lipstick in Dead of Knight is just that. If you want to try out black lipstick trend on a budget, try the CoverGirl Katy Kat matte lipstick in the shade Perry Panther. This lipstick is in a tube, so it's not as long lasting as a liquid formula. It does have a creamy, non-drying formula that stays moist on your lips. This lipstick retails for $9 and can be purchased at Ulta or your local drugstore. Katy Perry is known for making bold fashion and makeup choices, so we're not surprised to see a black lipstick in her line with CoverGirl. Bold lipsticks are really trending, and we're glad to see that you can pick up a black lipstick at a drugstore now.
